I get the impression that most kindle books are sold (well rented) by subscription, i.e. all you can read for a fixed monthly fee, so a subscriber downloading an AI book or other crap doesn’t pay any increment to do so. IDK how the revenues are divided up.

I’ll take The Noisy Decisions RMS and Linus Torvalds Made That Devastated Microsoft for all the marbles, Alex.

Keep it spinning and put stuff on it, or sell it, probably for more than you paid for it. Drives on the shelf tend to fail.

10K POH is a little more than a year, so it may still be under warranty.

“Anxious to use it” in colloquial English means that you are eager or in a hurry to use it, btw. The opposite of being afraid to use it, which might be what you intended to say.

Yes, it’s behind some kind of wall for me. I don’t know for certain that it’s a pay wall, it might be available to free subscribers or whatever, but I’m not gonna sign up whether it’s paid of not. I dislike Medium and would rather see the study directly than see someone clickbaiting over it.

Seems subscription walled to me. I only see a useless couple of intro paragraphs. Better to link to the actual study instead of a medium blog.

Sounds like you’ll have an interesting time moderating trolls and their endless respawns. Shadowbanning has its troublesome aspects even conceptually, but it was invented for a reason.

Which projects?

Can you look at the source code in the repos and make any sense of it?

Are there open issues connected to the repo, that you think you could make some headway with?

If you have 0 experience writing code, I think contributing to an existing project isn’t a good way to start. Better to text a textbook and work through some exercises, and do a few small projects of your own, before trying to join an existing team where as a total newbie, you’ll be a burden. Note that “small project of your own” can involve forking something that exists and making your own changes or additions. That doesn’t require much attention from other people.

Then, contribute once you feel you are ready to contribute.

Yeah I wonder if they are using thermal paste with diamond particles aka diamond bog, or have a diamond interposer, or what.

Also Seeed Studio: https://www.seeedstudio.com/NVIDIAr-Jetson-Orintm-Nano-Super-Developer-Kit-Bundle.html

we assumed that having “visual” cues was further out because AI at the time wasn’t up to the task.

For just terrain recognition, the US has had that since before there was GPS. Since the 1950s even.

Sounds like a diamond layer between the cpu and copper heatsink?

Yeah I guess they use the diamond layer instead of thermal paste.

This doesn’t make any sense. They say the subway platforms are too hot during the summer, which is true. Everything in NYC is too hot during the summer, including the platforms.

Then they say that during the winter, they want to transfer heat from the subway platforms to buildings that can use the heat. How is that supposed to help with the platform temperature during the summer? It’s not especially hot in the subway during the winter either. So there’s no need to move the heat out.

Unfortunately besides chips, another huge input to this AI crap is electric power, which is coming mostly from expanding fossil fuel consumption and thus increasing planetary heating. Economists’ intersecting curves are of no help with that.

What do you want to do with the HDD’s? I have a bunch of crap saved on mine, but nowhere near 12TB. Also I rent some drive space (Hetzner Storage Box) for server backups. That adds up over time but you don’t have to spend a big chunk all at once, and HDD prices might eventually drop again.

Feel lucky that you want HDD rather than SSD. SSD prices have tripled or quadrupled while HDD has not even doubled, per the graph someone posted.

Nice. I think very durable packs will tend to be heavier fwiw. Neither of my two current “good” packs (both Bozeman-era Dana Design) have any elastic that I can think of, other than the foam in the hip belts. I’m not in the market for another pack any time soon but I’ll keep Vanquest in mind and will also ask on an outdoor forum that I sometimes inhabit. The regulars there are extreme connoisseurs of good packs.
